Call for Papers for Special Session “Mixlingual Speech Processing”

Introduction

• The modern society demonstrates clear mutual influence among languages, e.g., Mandarin to minor languages in China, and English to other languages in the world. This leads to a clear mixlingual phenomenon, i.e., some words of a foreign (or target, embedded) language are embedded in a host (or source, matrix) language. This mixlingual effect causes significant problems in various speech processing tasks. This special session invites papers on but not limited to the following topics:

•  Mixlingual phonetic and phonological analysis
•  Mixlingual speech recognition
•  Mixlingual speech synthesis
•  Language turn detection
•  Mixlingual language understanding

• To assist the research on mixlingual speech processing, the special session offers a large Chinese-English mixlingual speech database OC16-CE80 (provided by Speechocean) that involves 80h of speech data and the associated resources. Participants to the special session can apply for OC16-CE80 for free if they need data to evaluate their research.

Important date

•  June 13 OC16-CE80 training/dev data release
•  July 31 Paper submission deadline
•  Aug. 15 Paper acceptance notification
